1975 Yamaha RD250 first ride

1975 Yamaha RD250 first ride on the bike just a short ride around town. The bike is running great and will be making some more videos soon. Be sure and checkout Cody's videos at Wrecked Revival because he does all of the work on the bikes to get them running.

I got mine up to 100MPH back in 1977. I bought i used for $500.from my wrestling coach. It was a beast for a new rider. I would wheelie it without trying very dangerous for a 16 year old kid with no riding experience. It was beautiful wish I still had it.

Yambits are a great source of parts in the UK.

Funny watching the speedo show whatever speed it wanted, Great bike in it's day though.

[@acptelford1307]

No gloves? Bit daft that is.

They sing when you get to 9.500 rpm :)

Wear gloves when you ride man. Even a low speed off on tarmac will mess your hands up. Nice old 2 stroke bike though.
